Please answer two questions and I'll let you know the good news soon.
1) Would you be willing to fly into Houston for a Flyertalk get together if you got to tour CO and personally meet with the CEO?
2) Are you going to buy a CO ticket in the next 60 days to anywhere?
That would help me. Hopefully both answer will be a large number. Please be honest as I don't want to be embarssed if I negotiate something then 6 people buy a ticket. Thanks, Cigarman

Oh Yea
Yes on both, I'm though IAH almost every week just depends on the date. Let me know when and I'll be there if possible.
By the way, ever tried a rock patel vintage 90 or 92? Great smoke!!!!

(2) Two already booked, two more likely yet to book.

(Funny...I can't buy a ZFV-EWR train ticket from Amtrak for -$1,800. CO must have some volume discount!)

Rules is rules!
Paulo, did I ever imply or suggest that you break the rules??? Me???? I said take the choo-choo, didn't I???
p.s. The cheapest I can find from Arizony is PHX-IAH-AUS-IAH-AUS-IAH-PHX, which at $298 is about $100 less then a plain vanilla PHX-IAH-PHX.
Go figure.
